VMware ESX 3.5 and earlier had the management console, a stripped down linux console which was could be used for automating and managing your virtual machines. As of ESX 3.5i this is no longer available and the future is to move away from the fat hypervisor. In order to manage your virtual machines in a similar way as before, we now have special virtual machines that come with management software pre-installed. VMware delivers 2 appliances for this, the VIMA and the RCLI. | VMware ESX 3.5 and earlier had the management console, a stripped down linux console which was could be used for automating and managing your virtual machines.
